I read that if the game becomes successful enough, it might just become a series. Last night I kept having thoughts of what other characters could play poker with each other...
Like Master Chief, Guybrush Threepwook, the Tick and the Nostalgia Critic. Or even Black Mage, Deadpool, Earthworm Jim, and Bender!
The last one is kind of unlikely, I realize that, but I kept thinking of other characters like Yakko Warner, and people like Yahtzee, before finally drifting off to sleep.
But, yeah, it IS just a Poker game, but the idea of characters like these actually interacting with each other just blew my mind on so many levels that I'm starting to think that anything is possible!
Because these are video game characters, specifically. Yeah, I know, 3 of the four characters originated from non-video game material, but the whole idea of this game is to see and hear what video game characters say and do in their off time. Telltale just used video game characters that were easy to acquire, since they already did the Sam & Max and Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People series, while the other two have games available on Srream.
Besides, with a Flash video, it's just going to be the same every time you watch it, but in a Poker game, there are numerous outcomes to be had, leading to dozens of possible dialogue depending on the situation.
